Titanic by Original Soundtrack
Although Titanic by Original Soundtrack has been around for a few years now, I still listen to it as of current. The hums and music background are very nice and teary.

Feel that fire by Dierks Bentley
Feel that fire by Dierks Bentley is a song that is beautiful in a lot of ways because it talks about how this guy knows that his girl needs to feel that fire. This song mainly talks about this one girl and what she wants but in my opinion …

Take That - X-Factor 2010 - Final Performance

After the Loving by Engelbert Humperdink

Green Day “21st Century Breakdown”
I became a Green Day fan as soon as I heard one or two singles from their 2004 hit album “American Idiot.” I liked the anger and almost rage they expressed, and the hard-rocking style was something that impressed me when many other groups began putting out more —˜gentle’ …

The Avett Brothers
When I stepped out of the warm summer night into the Pearl Street Nightclub in the quaint village of Northampton, Massachusetts, my expectations were set at an unattainable height, as if I were entering the gates of Max Yasgur’s farm in August of ‘69. I was, however, not entering …
J Dilla - Donuts
Donuts is one of the most imaginative and important CDs of the last decade. Although it is very unnoticed and underground, I consider it to be a classic and very important. It’s extremely imaginative and I’m positive in the near future, maybe in another decade or so, J Dilla’s …

Soundgarden: Louder Than Love
The sophomore jinx? No, not for this band. Soundgarden’s second album, Louder Than Love is a testament to their domination over pretenders at the time. And one song says it better than any: Big Dumb Sex. The title alone is intriguing enough that it warrants a listen.
There are some …
JoJo
There is something about this song, “too little too late”. I personally have enjoyed this particular music track so much, and there are a few remixes to it.
Personally, Jojo, the singer to the title song, “too little too late” has really captured my heart and I …

Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ by 50 Cent

CD KISS DRESSED TO KILL
DRESSED TO KILL
I give this one extra point for the classic album cover with KISS decked out in three piece suits.
KISS’ third album was another poor seller when first released and at this point, it seemed that KISS was never going to have any success recording in studio.
The only …
Robbie Williams - Angels - Single
To this date, still know as Robbie Williams best ever song, though it’s often forgotten that it never actually reached number 1 in the U.K.

Meshuggah Contradictions Collapse CD
Meshuggah is not a household name. Most people will go through their lives never hearing about an experimental Math/Metal band named Meshuggah.

Many Funerals - Eisley
I have always loved a more poppy folk sound, and for the most part, the band Eisley fills that need nicely. While they normally make a radio friendly brand of garage folk, the song “Many Funerals” shows off their ability to make a more progressive sounding rock song with …
